    What Is Quality Function Deployment and Why It MattersYour Guide to the House of Quality

    Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a structured, customer-driven methodology that translates the Voice of the Customer into specific engineering and process characteristics at every stage of product and service development. This one-day Quality Function Deployment training gives professionals across South Korea a practical command of QFD and its central tool, the House of Quality matrix. Developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972, QFD is now standard practice in automotive (APQP), electronics, semiconductors and service design. You learn to capture customer requirements, translate them into measurable engineering targets, resolve design trade-offs using the correlation roof, and cascade the analysis through the four QFD phases: product planning, parts deployment, process planning and production planning. For product designers, quality engineers and R&D professionals in Korea's manufacturing heartland, QFD is a skill that turns customer insight into confident design decisions.

Korean manufacturers in automotive, electronics and semiconductors compete on design quality, so professionals who can turn customer requirements into engineering targets are valued in product design, quality and R&D roles. QFD is a practical, transferable skill you can apply immediately at work.

    What is the House of Quality?

    The House of Quality is the central QFD matrix. It links customer requirements (the WHATs) to measurable engineering characteristics (the HOWs), scores each relationship, uses a correlation roof to reveal design conflicts, benchmarks competitors and sets engineering targets, all anchored to customer priorities.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. The course introduces QFD and the House of Quality from first principles. Familiarity with product development or quality management is helpful but not required, so beginners and experienced practitioners can both benefit.

    Where did QFD originate?

    QFD was developed in Japan by Yoji Akao and Shigeru Mizuno and first formally applied at the Kobe Shipyard in 1972. It spread through automotive and manufacturing and is now used across electronics, semiconductors, healthcare, software and service design worldwide.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for the QFD training?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no exam. Learning is reinforced through hands-on House of Quality construction, case examples and team discussion during the one-day programme. Participants receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Do I receive a certificate after completing the training?

    Participants receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. There is no external awarding body or formal credential, because QFD is a methodology rather than a certification. The value is the practical skill you can apply straight away.

    Is QFD a certification or a methodology?

    QFD is a methodology, not a certification. This training builds practical skills rather than preparing you for an exam, so there is no awarding body or formal credential. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and a toolkit you can use immediately.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises: structuring the Voice of the Customer, classifying requirements with the Kano model, and building and interpreting a complete House of Quality for a realistic product or service.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    You will be able to capture and structure the Voice of the Customer, build a full House of Quality, set and prioritise engineering targets, resolve design conflicts using the correlation roof, and cascade QFD through parts deployment, process planning and production planning.

    Course Content

    What topics does the QFD training cover?

    The programme covers QFD principles and business case, the Voice of the Customer, building the House of Quality step by step, interpreting the matrix, the four-phase QFD cascade, and applying QFD in DFSS, DMAIC and service design, with hands-on exercises throughout.

    How long is the QFD training?

    The course is delivered in one day (eight hours). It can also be run as two half-day sessions. The programme covers all six QFD modules with concept explanations, real-world examples and hands-on House of Quality construction exercises.

    Does the course cover QFD for services and software?

    Yes. While QFD originated in manufacturing, the course shows how the House of Quality applies to service design, software and healthcare, wherever customer requirements must be translated into delivery or design specifications.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the training?

    Yes. The one-day programme is built around practical work: structuring VOC with affinity diagrams, classifying needs with the Kano model, and constructing and interpreting a complete House of Quality matrix so you can apply the method immediately.

    How does QFD relate to Six Sigma and DFSS?

    QFD is a core tool in Design for Six Sigma, translating the Voice of the Customer into CTQs in the DMADV Measure phase, and it supports the DMAIC Define phase. The course shows how to apply QFD within these improvement and design frameworks.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the QFD course?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete registration, and you will receive access to schedules, course materials and joining details. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing a batch.

    What training formats are available in South Korea?

    We offer QFD training online through live virtual instructor-led sessions, in-person classroom training, and customised onsite corporate delivery for teams, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and location in Korea.
